          The Seattle Seahawks made an NFL-high 284 player transactions during 2010, their first year with John Schneider as general manager and Pete Carroll as head coach. The pace has slowed as the Seahawks' roster has grown from one of the league's worst into arguably its best, but Schneider and Carroll continued to make bold, impactful moves even after winning the Super Bowl last season. Trading Percy Harvin five games into the 2014 season stands out as one of them.
